    Always fantastic. The lambs neck was so tender and juicy a first time for me. Ooey gooey cake is great, as well. People are so nice, too

    Heard the food was good but was skeptical. The hype is real. Portions were perfect. So much thought and preparation behind every dish. Heard menu changes about every 90 days so can’t wait to come back in the spring.

    The dinner was delicious! Starting with the delicate sashimi which was very fresh and had a buttery texture. Next the five whole different colored carrots were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented and the gizzards were tender and tasty with the chimichurri sauce. The lamb neck was huge (easily enough for 2 people) and perfectly cooked with a crispy crust and tender flavorful meat underneath. The duck breast was also perfectly cooked a nice medium rare with a tasty sauce sauce. Our server Cole was friendly, attentive and enthusiastic. Altogether a great experience!

    Excellent from top to bottom. Love small restaurants with an open kitchen. At Nolia you feel like you are at a friend’s house talking and watching food being prepared.

    Treat yourself to this gem of a restaurant in Over the Rhine. Off the beaten path but definitely worth the find! The food was excellent and the service was spot on. The noise level was manageable but lively. A small restaurant so definitely get reservations. We thought all the appetizers were outstanding. The presentation of the peanut soup was fun to watch and better to eat. The dumplings and the hen were both delicious. The cocktails were creative and the wine we had paired perfectly with the dishes.

    A lot of thought goes into the menu items, and the result is an eclectic mix of flavors that highlight not only New Orleans but Southern influences more broadly. The peanut soup starter was a standout, and the skillet cornbread never fails to delight. There’s a short and yet very interesting, well chosen selection of wines, and the Hyde Park cocktail based on Guinness stout was a perfect winter drink. Wish I’d had room for one of the scrumptious sounded desserts!
